He was shaking. Twelve years…. Twelve years of Azkaban, twelve years of being falsely accused, for being punished… without a trial….. twelve years of Peter's betrayal…. Twelve years of James and Lily's'death... twelve years of waiting... What if he would have never suggested James to make Peter his secret-keeper instead of himself? Or at least he would have conveyed Remus or Dumbledore... but he didn't. He trusted Peter and that's where everything went wrong. Peter betrayed them. And when he went to took revenge, Peter flees and killed eleven muggles. Everyone was convinced that he was the murderer of those eleven muggles and Peter. Of course, they didn't know Peter was animagus. And that made everything worse. Order members thought he betrayed them. Others thought he was a convicted mass murderer. What about Remus though? Was he alive? Did he believe, as everyone believed? And if he did was that his fault? After what Sirius did? After he didn't even inform him about the switching of the secret-keepers? After he doubted him, though just for some seconds that he will join Voldemort, just like Fenrir Greyback? What must he be doing? And what happened to his Godson, who was just like his best mate, except those green eyes he borrowed it from Lily? What happened to him? Who was taking his care? Dumbledore won't starve him, he knew, but who was he living with? And when he thought about who he might be living at, for the first time he was ashamed of his recklessness. He was Harry's godfather and he couldn't even take care of him, he was rotting in Azkaban due to his recklessness when he was supposed to take care of his godson, son of James and Lily. And for the first time tears glittered in his eyes. Maybe he was not reckless, Harry would not be orphaned. His recklessness ruined all.
"Sorry," he muttered.
"Sorry I can't take care of my godson and your son. Sorry I couldn't avenge your death. Sorry James, Sorry Lily." he muttered.
Just then he glanced at the prophet Fudge threw in his cell. Weasleys were enjoying their holidays in Egypt. And he saw something familiar. The rat on the shoulders of the youngest male of the Weasley family. Peter.
"He is at Hogwarts! He is at Hogwarts!" he howled.
Everyone was shocked. Breakout from Azkaban! How was that even possible? Azkaban was one of the most guarded prisons! No one escaped the Azkaban until now. What was Black after?
He said, "He is at Hogwarts!" in the cell.
He chanted it. Everyone was worried. He was Harry Potter's Godfather. What if he was after Harry? Minister Fudge, Albus Dumbledore, Auror Office, Professor Snape and McGonagall, Arthur and Molly Weasley were worried like hell. And Remus Lupin was worried too. He was not sure whether he believed Ministry or believed that Sirius can be innocent as there was not any trial. But he was worried about Harry if the ministry was right. Now the whole British Wizarding Community was shaking.
